Projects

The Rome group presently counts some 112 members and the entire amount of their contributions, around US$92,000 a year, is allocated directly to projects, without overhead costs since the Fund is managed by members themselves, all volunteers.

Since 1983, nearly $1,200,000.00 were disbursed by the Rome group to fund some 230 projects! Some of these projects and their project description are available in this section - select the subcategories (regions) from the menu bar or from the options below.

Improve tree nursery facilities including better irrigation systems, better germination beds, expansion and increase of the area covered by germination and propagation beds.
A large watershed water producing area will be reforested using plants from the school nursery.
Improved teaching materials for the students on how to produce better quality trees for reforestation and agroforestry farms.
Local communities will produce plants of good genetic quality for multiple uses in order to achieve better food security.
Income generated will allow further reinvestment to enhance nursery, tree production and, in a not-too-distant future, diversify the species to be produced according to market demand.
